Quotes BK Ventspils vs. Pinar Karsiyaka

"It is a very good win. Ventspils is a very good and tough team, especially on their home court, but tonight we were better than them. We did not play good defence though we played like a team and played hard. Congratulations to all my players with this win."

Ventspils player Arturs Berzins

"We did not play well tonight. 86 points against a team like Karsiyaka is like suicide. The free-throw percentage was low. At the end of the game we made mistakes, and they used it to their advantage. Very experienced team of a high level."

Ventspils head coach Roberts Stelmahers

"It is a pity we lost. Some mistakes in defence at the end of the game decided the result. Karsiyaka is a very strong team in all positions, and this factor helped them. The low free-throw percentage also was a factor for the loss. Next time we will be better prepared and ready to play."
